On last Saturday afternoon Mr.. F. M.
Butler created quite sensation on the
Public Square by bringing his little dog on
the streets without muzzle with pistol
in his hand and defying any person to
shoot the dog. He carried the. dog by
Chief NJ Police FAINT and invited him IN
shoot 1t. Mr.. FAINT asked Mr.. Butler if he
he replied: "No; shoot him If you want
to-" Mr.. FAINT again suggested chat he
had better get muzzle or keep the dog
off the streets, which Mr.. Butler also de-
clined, and persisted in the invitation to
shoot the dog if Mr.. FAINT wanted to do 80.
Mr.. FAINT thereupon told Mr.. Butler that
II his dog stayed on the street until he
got his gun he would shoot it, as directed
By, the City Ordinance, and went for his
gun. As usual at such times, large
crowd gathered to see the row, which did
not come off. Mr.. Butler, seeing that his
pistol in hand would not protect his dog,
:dismeetly retired to Mr.. Ernest Fant's
billiard room, from which the dog was
carried in q mans arms to his wagon and
disappeared from the streets. The city
authorities should put stop to such per-
formances as this upon the public streets
Open defiance Of City Ordinance should
be punished or the Ordinance repealed.
We presume Mr.. Butler will be fined for
bringing his dog on the street in defiance
Of the provisions of the Ordinance.
